Wynton Marsalis: The Ever Fonky Lowdown | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

@dodgingdurangos924 3 жыл бұрын

"You should focus your gaze on who's exploiting and manipulating you, and those people exist on both sides of the coin!" "Keep your eyes on the register and don't look at the people staging a fight in the store." So many great gems in this video. Wynton Marsalis is a classy guy. His ability to put things into perspective and describe things through analogs and storytelling is amazing. It's refreshing to hear somebody telling it like it is.

Wow Bill managed to get Wynton on to speak on these issues?? Hope other networks catch wind of this and get him on other mainstream networks to drop wisdom on the populous, it’s like having a cultural elder, an old soul who can tell us what it was, what it is, and what it should be. Nothing but respect to this jazz legend and American icon for saying what needs to be said, thank you Mr. Marsalis!

The problem with" keeping eyes on the register", is the money in this country is hidden, and where the nation's money goes to is hidden. No one wants to even talk about balancing the national deficit. And NO attention is being brought to the Federal Reserve, where our money actually comes from.Too many secrets and zero oversight . All of that is obfuscated with race, riots and shootings weekly.

The laws of America are direct copies of English law. Apple pie is an English recipe. Nothing in America is original. So how can it be the greatest country on Earth when is a bastard child of England. A country that had had mire impact on the world more than the US has. The U.S. was so far backward it's had racial segregation in 1960s and laws designed to hold back black American's, and other countries integrated white and black people with the same rights. American still has racial divides and that is the fucking point. It's just that Trump and his base are blatantly obvious racist. The left is not wanting to turn America into a backward nation it want to return it back to the progressive nation it was when 1776 a population decided to move forward against it's leader of King George. Progression is looking to unite and move forward. Trump wishes to return it back into a past of blatant slavery and ruled by fear and hate of people based on their skin color.

They begin with being in "binary mode " . This country is divided and in "binary mode " due to the far lefts actions and not anything Trump did . Before Trumps election the left at the FBI had already started an investigation to delegitimize his Presidency . Russian collusion , Syriagate , the left has been lying , looting , pulling down statues , burning buildings , defaming the Press. , defaming the country , The left has been blocking Free speech in colleges all across America for years . It's only the left that's destroying this great country . The right is signing on to MAGA for all people . While being maligned , President Trump ,.. prison reform , opportunity zones in black areas , funded HBC's , lowest black unemployment . Only a far left nut job , can say that "Americans are picking on the looters , making them the others " . Yes stupid they are and should be the others , you'd have to be mentally ill to not know this . People that loot , burn down other peoples property , cause billions in damage and chaos , must not be the norm , hence they have to be the others . "Money & power is the issue " Said by a black man that was raised poor and is now a multimillionaire , and created that wealth in America . Does anyone see the irony yet or do I really have to say more on that . We have rappers , movie stars and pro athletes complaining they have no opportunity for "money & power " . And butt kissing Bill never says , Well Wynton you and your brother , and millions of other musicians , actors , doctors , professionals , pro athletes, celebrities etc ... make millions every year , and you can only make that kind of progress in America . No one has ever attacked poor people for being poor , they criticize looters for destroying their own neighborhoods and other peoples hard earned businesses . Is there anything more ignorant , than burning down a biz that invested money in your neighborhood ? How can you defend these morons . Doing so just reinforces their bad ideas and bad behavior . Every point Wynton and Bill made only leads to more division , more confusion , and they're just confirming the unjustified anger in a young black mans mind . If you wanna improve your life , there's no better place to be than the USA .

Been a huge fan of Wynton for years, incredible talent, was a stunning Classical player and jazz is in his DNA. And he rolled the knowledge here, jeez, never heard him spit like this on social issues, and he does so with a remarkably wide lens. Clearly a highly intelligent guy. And yet...he is too scared to fly lol. That always cracks me up, reminds me of Dennis Bergkamp (although he explained why he was too scared to fly after he got terrified in an incident on a plane) Or maybe it's just in the Covid era, I dunno.

I like what you said at first. But if the ship is sinking people are gonna be fighting to take charge. People tend to panic when a boat sinks.

But in all honesty whatever happens will have a silver lining.
